[Phoenixguard09]

Yeah, why not?

I don't follow the soccer, but I guess its a sweepstake. I don't have to!

[Jubal]

/in - I have no interest in the result but oh well. 

[comrade_general]

Same as above.

@PG: aren't you australian? I thought it was still just football there or association football?

[Pentagathus]

Engerlaand Engerland Engeeeeerlaaaand!

But football sucks.

[Gen_Glory]

so are you in?

[Mars]

I'll enter this.

[Phoenixguard09]

We've got a bit of everything over here but football refers to Aussie rules, which is nothing much like anything else really. Most of the country follows it predominantly especially Victoria and South Australia which is where I'm from. The only two states it is not big in are New South Wales and Queensland, which is where I live. They're both big on rugby league mainly.

As far as the soccer goes down here, I don't really follow it but I'm pretty sure that the Queensland and SA teams are the two best ones. But I wouldn't know. It is definitely called soccer down here though.

[Cuddly Khan]

I'm in and also in the same boat as what PG said.

[Gen_Glory]

oh right, the more you know eh?

[Pentagathus]

Yeah I'm in.

[no1 croat fan]

I'm in! I would love to be Croatia, although their first game is Brazil, so in that case, maybe not...
